Peeled pears poached in lemon water with sugar, then chilled in their reduced syrup.

Carefully blanched and peeled pears finished in lemon syrup and served cold.

Six pears halved, maraschino-cinnamon infused, battered and fried.

Six vanilla-poached pears on sweet milk rice with maraschino pear syrup.

Double-crust sliced-pear pie with a sugared top and three small vents.

A crisp pastry shell holds a vanilla almond filling with pear slices and blueberries. Cool the tart before cutting so the filling and crust hold together.

Juicy pear and peach beneath a golden, tender cobbler topping, served with cool lime yogurt. Makes six spooned portions.

Pear, peach and fresh edible rose petals are folded through a yoghurt cake with a little baking powder. Fine fruit dice distribute through the shallow bake, which is rested before serving.

Cored pear dice sit in a rich treacle-and-honey batter with vanilla. The high syrup content makes a dense, sticky bake; cook it gently in a broad round tin and let it settle before portioning.

Pear slices top a soft oat cake scented with cardamom. Ground almonds enrich the crumb and a few chopped almonds finish the surface.

A dense oat dessert with pecans, banana and fresh edible rose petals. Most of the banana is mashed into the batter; six thin slices are reserved for the top and baked with the mixture.

Six small baked vanilla-yolk custard cakes thickened with flour.

Six small cakes with apricot-crumb filling in scooped tops.

Almond-egg-white half-moon biscuits with halved pistachios.

A sweet shortcrust tart filled with firm milk semolina and finely chopped pine nuts, covered with a diamond pastry lattice.

Pineapple slices first poached in sugar syrup, then batter-fried and laid over warm maraschino sauce.

Fresh grated coconut, pineapple dice and pistachios fill a low cake. The coconut is fresh flesh rather than dried flakes, and the fruit-heavy batter is rested in its tin before serving.

Pineapple, passion-fruit pulp and pistachios form a very moist vanilla cake. The pulp includes its edible seeds; bake in a shallow tin and serve warm once the centre has set.

A softly frozen pineapple cream with crushed almond macaroons and a modest measure of brandy, served in small glasses.

Green pistachio custard ice cream with two liqueurs.

Milk-and-yolk gelato with finely ground unroasted pistachios.

Pistachio ice cream lightened with whipped cream, topped with more cream, chopped pistachios and candied cherry.

A softly coffee-flavoured butter cake with fresh figs and chopped pistachios, baked in a round skillet. Makes eight slices.

Pistachios and raisins run through a brown sugar butter cake. Brewed coffee is measured as a liquid, and the cake is baked in a shallow tin for slicing.
